Kazir stepped out of his expensive car, he was alone. Erica and his new bodyguard Anderson were not with him. To be honest, he was still not comfortable with having people around him, following him.
He looked at the bar that he usually visited whenever he wanted to relax. This bar was famous for having a nice atmosphere, and jazz music playing softly while he was savoring the taste of alcohol.
He entered the bar and looked around. At the corner of the room, a woman was minding her business, waiting for someone.
Kazir approached the woman.
"Babe, how's your day?"
"It's fine."
The two had a gentle kiss before finding a seat.
Suddenly, Kazir frowned when he sensed something strange from Angelina.
"Why are you covering your left arm?"
"Oh, this...? It's nothing but a bruise, not a big deal."
Angelina showed her arm to Kazir, a long but thin wound was there. Kazir grabbed her arm and inspected it, slightly caressing, tracing the wound.
"I had a small accident while filming Lara Croft. Don't worry, the doctor already disinfected it and it's not that deep, it will not leave a scar."
Angelina slightly blushed while looking at Kazir's concerned expression. She could not help but control her smile... The wound was nothing, this kind of bruise could happen whenever filming an action scene. She just wanted to worry Kazir and it seemed that her method worked.
"Does it hurt?"
"Babe, it's technically a graze... W- Well, it was indeed painful at first-- W-Whatareyoudoing--?"
Angelina almost squealed when Kazir showered her arm with kisses... Note that they were in a bar and there were some customers in the establishment who could see what they were doing.
"I'm just doing what I can do. I heard that kissing a wound makes it less painful."
"What are you? A child?"
Angelina giggled and slapped his shoulder. She was trying to hide the fact that she blushed when Kazir kissed her arm with gentleness.
"Why didn't you tell me that you had an accident? I will immediately leave my job just to be with you."
"I know that you're busy and I didn't want to make you worry. You're in the process of post-production and it's an important stage."
She replied... Actually, she was mad at Kazir because he didn't tell her that he would have his "strip tease" published in the newspaper. This was her way of getting back at him.
"Still..."
"Okay, okay. Let's just say that we are equal now. You hid the fact that you showed your abs to the public, and I also kept my accident a secret from you. Now we're even."
"... But I don't feel even at all."
He sighed. Sometimes Angelina was hard to understand. She was hardheaded and quite the jealous type.
"Is that so? Then why don't you make up for it? Treat me to something nice. No, never mind. I want you to cook a dish for me instead. I miss your bacon, egg, and pancakes."
"Angelina, that's a simple breakfast."
"But it's delicious when you're the one who cooks it."
"... Okay fine. I'll cook something for you tonight."
She smiled and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"That's what I like to hear."
The two ordered alcohol while having conversations. Even though they were only talking, they couldn't help but giggle and laugh at each other. They spoke about their jobs and daily lifestyle.
They didn't see each other for a week because they were busy. Angelina was also mad at Kazir because of the published news about his magnificent body.
"I'm sorry for not telling you. I don't know how to explain it to you, cause I know that you will be mad. Pirates Of The Caribbean needs a strong promotion since the movie is pirate-themed and the audience rarely likes to watch pirate movies. 20th Century Fox decided to use me as the main focus of promotion."
"I understand, but I'm still upset though."
"That's why I'll cook dinner tonight."
"Nope, dinner is not enough. I need more."
She playfully bit her lip. The atmosphere between the two melted and they wanted to fuck right on the spot.
Thankfully, they were sober enough to control their urges.
"... Let's leave this place."
"Yeah, let's go back to your house."
Angelina happily agreed. She was raring to solo this famous director tonight.
The two exited the bar and Kazir clicked his tongue. He saw someone he recognized.
"... There's a paparazzi a few meters to your left. Let's go, before the paparazzi start asking us questions."
Kazir grabbed Angelina's hand and walked fast.
Angelina instinctively turned to her left and saw a guy approaching them fast while clicking his camera in a rabid manner.
"... You need a strong promotion, right?"
Angelina had an idea as she licked her lips.
"Angelina--"
The woman embraced Kazir's neck and kissed him. Kazir was surprised at first but he responded and kissed her back. The two shared a passionate kiss in the middle of the night.
The paparazzi were stunned and stopped walking. However, his fingers kept clicking the camera.
Seconds passed and their lips parted, the two panting.
"Angelina, what was that?"
"Nothing, I just think of a way to promote my movie and your movie at the same time.... So, how about another kiss."
"I'll never decline your offer."
Angelina giggled before Kazir grabbed the back of her head and roughly kissed her, tonguing her, and making her moan in between.
